COLLEGE STATION – Texas AgriLife Research has established 14 bioenergy projects funded by $4 million from the Texas Legislature.

Research involves extensive plant science activities, investigating potential harvest and transportation methods for bioenergy production, and comprehensive economic analysis, said Dr. Mark Hussey, agency director.

“This is a multi-faceted research effort across Texas,” Hussey said. “These activities focus not just on developing feedstocks for bioenergy use, but innovation in the harvest, transportation and environmental aspects of alternative energy. We hope many of these activities can be applied not just here in the Lone Star state, but across the U.S.”
